Graduate Programs in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies
The Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies offers an M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, a coterminal M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, and a joint M.A./J.D. in conjunction with the Stanford Law School.
Since the University does not offer a Ph.D. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, students wishing to pursue a REEES-related doctoral program must apply to one of the departments offering a Ph.D. with an emphasis on Russia, Eurasia, or Eastern Europe, such as the departments of History, Anthropology, Political Science, or Slavic Languages and Literatures.
Financial Aid
CREEES may offer a number of full- and partial-tuition scholarships to eligible entering CREEES M.A. students. These awards are made for one year of full-time study on the basis of merit. All applicants to the CREEES M.A. program automatically are considered for a tuition award, and successful applicants are notified of their aid awards simultaneously with their admissions offers.
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program awards funding to pursue graduate education at Stanford to students from all disciplines, with additional opportunities for leadership training and collaboration across fields. For more information please visit Knight-Hennessy Scholars program website
